...life makes the task of fundraising extremely problematic, because it is difficult to elicit funds for a cause whose effectiveness cannot be documented, Carstens says. Nonetheless, the IDAF raises millions of dollars a year that make their way to South Africa. But of the 10 national committees-England, Ireland, Canda, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, NewZealand, India and the U.S.-the American branch contributes the smallest amount, last year about...

Charles Darwin would have loved the British salmon, school of 83. Returning this month as they do annually from their far-flung North Atlantic feeding grounds to rivers in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales where they were spawned, the great game fish face a hazardous course that only the fittest survive.

Aspartame won FDA acceptance in 1974, only to be pulled back after some scientists voiced concern that the substance might cause brain damage...
...preparing to do so, another American, an unemployed computer technician named Wayne Dickinson, washed up on the rocks of Ireland in God's Tear, 142 days after setting sail from Point Allerton, Mass. God's Tear, indeed; Dickinson's boat was about 2 in. shorter than Dunlop's. McClean now had two American tiny-tub artists to beat, and earlier this month he succeeded, despite a broken mast in the Bay of Biscay, reaching Portugal in the bobtailed Giltspur, now a mere 7 ft. 9 in. overall.
